Lexington County Soccer Club (LCSC) is currently hosting the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) National Diploma course at Columbia College. This two weekend course with 50 hours of instruction and 6 hours of evaluation is designed to provide education, support and professional growth for coaches of advanced players.

     Coaches have traveled from as far as Seattle for this course, and range from collegiate to club level. The National Diploma course teaches coaches to use both progressive and coaching in the game teaching methodologies in teaching techniques and tactics in a 6v6 model.

     The NSCAA’s experienced staff of Jeff Vennell from Connecticut, Jay Golomb from Florida and Kendall Reyes from Spartanburg combine to provide a learning environment that is conducive to learning for any level coach.

     Candidates are exposed to a curriculum that includes valuable resource materials, sessions in ethics and management, and written, oral, and practical (on-field coaching) evaluations. This developmental approach is in line with LCSC’s philosophy of long term growth for its players.

     LCSC is proud to have nine coaches participating in this course and the commitment they show to our club and players.

Our next two coaching courses will focus on training the specialized area of goalkeepers. Both Level I and Level II courses will be offered in the same weekend. These courses are designed for every coach, not solely for keeper coaches. A specific date in June will be announced shortly for these courses.

These players have been recognized by many Colleges and Universities as players that can compete and contribute at the next level. DOC Alan Riches commented,  “We work hard to prepare our players for college. We feel comfortable that these schools are getting quality players that are used to the high demands required of college training and performance. Our players understand the requirements of the college level and should fit in nicely with their respective teams."

College soccer recruiting is a very dynamic process. Grades and test scores are a very big part of that process. “These players also excel in the classroom and have the ability to be successful in college and beyond. We are very proud of them, would like to thank them for their services and wish them all the best in their future endeavors" said Riches.
